Today, when checking the on-chain pools again, I ran into that kind of “data stalling”—for a moment I even thought someone was stealing liquidity… Later on, I figured it was probably the indexer/Subgraph not keeping up, or the RPC getting rate-limited. If you request too often, it just stalls for a few seconds. To put it plainly, what you’re seeing isn’t “the chain slowing down”—it’s that particular pipe you use to fetch data that’s clogged.

Recently, everyone has been forcefully linking the ETF capital flows with US stock risk appetite in their interpretation. Once emotions kick in, I’m even more afraid of this kind of lag: you’re scrolling through big players’ movements, while the charts don’t update, and your brain starts making up nonsense plotlines. Anyway, I’ve learned my lesson now—set up the alerts and limits first. At least if slippage gets amplified, I won’t panic and chase in with shaky hands. Keep your head steady… If you need to withdraw, withdraw—don’t keep arguing with yourself.
